Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting a vehicle at an intersection are disclosed herein. One embodiment detects that the vehicle is stopped at the intersection at one of a first position and a second position; detects that a driver of the vehicle is pressing on an accelerator pedal of the vehicle; delays acceleration of the vehicle automatically by a first predetermined period, when the vehicle has been detected at the first position; and delays acceleration of the vehicle automatically by a second predetermined period, when the vehicle has been detected at the second position. Delaying acceleration of the vehicle automatically prevents the vehicle from being struck by a cross-traffic vehicle that has proceeded through the intersection against a first traffic signal in a red-light state.
